Wayward Fashions Of Swallowneck (Score:0)

Swallowneck used to frequent the "glamourous" toilets in Halifax bus station on Saturday afternoons wearing a Burberry jacket... that is until he was issued with a fine for reasons he's never disclosed to this day!

Am I alone in thinking Burberry looks like shite? (Score:0)

I seem to be and that pattern or whatever you would want to call it looks like a bad trip on LSD or at best old english wallpaper in some toilet up north (where they have never seen wallpaper).....

Can anybody shed any light on this issue? (Score:1)

Suspecting this not to be true, I wrote to Wales on Sunday asking if they could if confirm Morrissey has given support to the campaign to keep Burberry British, as they claimed.

They did not respond, so I telephoned them to ask in what way he had offered support. They claimed that he offered support via his official Myspace page and would not comment further. Looking at this website, I can not see anything supporting Burberry. As I don't subscribe to Myspace, I can't read historic blogs. Has he offered any support?

My gut feeling is that James McCarthy has not done his research and this is a cock-up.
